Description

German foreign policy at the end of the Merkel era is heading for the end of certainties. For the pillars that have supported this policy since 1949 – the European integration process, transatlantic security relations, the rule-based international order – are in crisis in one form or another. The next Federal Government will have to address these shifts in foreign policy more actively and develop new initiatives.

Dr. Markus Kaim is currently Helmut Schmidt Fellow of the Zeit-Stiftung and the German Marshall Fund. In Berlin he works as Senior Fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs of the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP). He has taught and held fellowships at universities on both sides of the Atlantic: As Visiting Scholar at the Institute of European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa (2018), as Adjunct Professor at the Department for Political Science, University of Zurich (since 2012), as Guest Instructor at the Hertie School of Governance, Berlin (since 2012), as DAAD Professor for German and European Studies at the University of Toronto (2007-2008), as Acting Professor for Foreign Policy and International Relations at the University of Constance (2007), and as Visiting Fellow at the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies/ Johns Hopkins University (2005).

This event is sponsored in part by the DAAD with funds from the German Foreign Office (AA).
